Pie and Chips Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

Molly starts us off by layering the cake into five layers giving us lots of yummy ganache between each layer. She then cuts out a section for the open pie and adds a thin layer of ganache in preparation for cover the entire cake.

In this lesson, Molly covers the cake in one large piece of sugarpaste which she colours using a lovely rainbow dust pro gel. Shen then adds the crust around the edge and generally make the cake feel more like a pie rather than a perfectly round cake.

This is where it really starts to come to life and we struggle to see it as a cake with its realistic textures and colours. You can almost smell the gravy.

Molly starts off by covering the board with white sugarpaste and then makes up an incredibly realistic batch of gravy using three everyday ingredients.

This is where it gets scarily realistic and incredibly satisfying to watch. Molly makes the filling using a mixture various ingredients that you would never think of that make up the mince and potatoes and mushy peas.

In this final lesson, Molly adds the filling to the cake as well as the mushy peas. She then shows us how to make the chips which look ridiculously realistic and take no time to make. Then to finish it all off she adds some extra gravy to the chips and pie.
